摘要：
In this work we propose the artificial Single Crystal Diamond (SCD) detector covered with a thin layer (0.5 mu m/4 mu m) of (LiF)-Li-6 as a simultaneous thermal and fast neutron fluence monitor. Some interesting properties of the diamond response versus the neutron energy are evidenced thanks to Monte Carlo simulation using the MCNPX code which allows to propose the diamond detector also as an ambient dose equivalent (H*(10)) monitor (REM counter).
